Careful. Most multimeters have an internal fuse and are very limited in the amount of current they can measure. You will probably need an ammeter if you're using a 12V motor.
We tried to use a single fisher price for vacuum since the centrifugal fan that came from our 12V shop vac was rated at 16,000 rpm. However, the fan was enough load that the constant motion destroyed the FP. I remember another team that geared up cims and used 2 to create enough suction to hold the soccer ball.
I can't remember which team it was, but they did post the pictures here on Delphi.
Here's a part of the thread where they discuss the model number:
